Find out what your peers are saying about Netgate, Fortinet, OPNsense and others in Firewalls."The solution is very, very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiGate is URL filtering."
"We can detect any attack of viruses or malware at the first point of contact."
"The management console is pretty simple, so anyone who understands networking can initially deploy the solution."
"Mainly the FortiGate reporting system is very good. It guides us through all the expectations of security. Fortinet provides us all that we need for security. Also, Fortinet FortiGate is a next-generation firewall. It is much more advanced than others."
"It's great for capturing the traffic and troubleshooting it."
"FortiGate is on the cheaper end, and it offers good value."
"Fortinet FortiGate is scalable for our users. Right now, we have almost 70 users. We do not have any plan to increase our usage of FortiGate. For maintaining the firewall solution, one staff member is enough."
"The VPN allows users to connect remotely and securely."
"The solution is completely integrated with all the other Palo Alto products. I think that it is the best part for endpoint protection. The firewall features include URL and DNS filtering, threat protection, and antivirus."
"The backup is the best feature."
"I like the analysis they apply to the unknown files, and I think they have good technology to use as a sandboxing tool. I didn't find something similar to WildFire in the marketplace."
"The most valuable features are all of the security features in terms of protection and SSL and VPN."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten since we never faced any issues."
"Using WildFire has reduced the number of viruses and the amount of malware that comes into our system, which means that I don't have to rely on the end-users to identify it."
"It helps us when segmenting and securing the network and all sort of technologies, all sort of next generation needs. It's next generation phases of firewall like anti-virus, sandboxing, wifi, and VPN."
"The solution is scalable."
"The scalability could be better."
"Palo Alto has a feature called WildFire Analysis that is unavailable in FortiGate. WildFire is better than a sandbox because it can address zero-day threats and vulnerabilities. It can immediately identify zero-day threats from the cloud."
"The room for improvement is about the global delivery time period. Usually I need to wait for almost one month to deliver it overseas. So if you can shorten the deliver time it'd be great."
"It is very expensive, and their support is not very good. I hope that their technical support will be better in the future."
"The inability to scale the FortiAnalyzer to match our growth necessitates the purchase of new hardware."
"The stability of Fortinet FortiGate could improve."
"Fortinet FortiGate can improve the integration with Active Directory. Additionally, I would like to have a Cloud Controller, such as they do in the Cisco Meraki solution."
"I think that the infrastructure for the VPN could be improved. The way that it is bundled also made it difficult to use and sell as it is too expensive."
"Multi-factor authentication would have been a plus in security at the time."
"The product fails to offer protection when dealing with high-severity vulnerabilities, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The only complaint that we receive from our customers is in regards to the price."
"The global product feature needs improvement, the VPN, and we need some enhanced features."
"High availability features are lacking."
"The support is good but they could be faster."
"They can keep on doing more updates. As new malware and viruses are coming out, they can make sure that WildFire is up to date."
"The price of WildFire should be reduced in order to make it more affordable for our customers."
"In the future, I would like to see more automation in the reporting."
